Is there any reason why this is disallowed, or is this is a bug? v.2.4.20. ps. pl. cc to me.

Yes, but I'm accessing them through my remote[public] IP address. The idea behind it is to have a fifo that works across the network through an NFS mount. Is that possible? I serched google for 'socket file', and all that I got was 'fifo', but they are to be used only on a singl machine for communication between 2 or more applications, but couldn't find any file abstraction for communication for processes on distinct machines. Do you know of any such thing, cause I couldn't find any. > > -- > Arvind Kalyan > http://www.devforge.net/~arv > -- -Dhruv Matani. http://www.geocities.com/dhruvbird/ The race of quality has no finish line. ~Anon. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

But they are local anyway, you cannot use them between two systems. Willy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
